Hiya, I'm planning a new build and i was wondering what your thoughts are on the parts I've chosen or if you have any other recommendations to similar but overall better components.

My goal is to have a great gaming PC that will last me 3-4 years.

I've yet to find a case that 1. I like; 2. Is good, so if you have any suggestions I'm open ideas.

I will be looking to buy an ATI 7950 3Gb when they are released to complete my basket.

Thanks

As for my budget well I'm looking to spend about £1400 max on the whole thing. I'll shop around as I'm sure some parts are cheaper else where.

Regarding the 16Gb of RAM, well I don't see why not to go all out when I want a system that will last me and it really isn't that expensive atm.

I really haven't 100% decided upon the 2600k as I know the 2500k is pretty similar but in my head I see the 2600k lasting longer? Is that a weird way to look at it? :P
 
I'm looking more towards the 2500k now to save me some cash. Is there much difference in the Crucial RealSSD M4 or the Force Series 3?

madtoday if you're after 16gb then 2x the kit linked above or

Well I have actually found:

Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory £70.99


@Buchanan0204 The 600t in black is one if the cases I have looked at, its pretty sexy.
 
Is it worth buying a 64Mb cache HDD for that little extra over 32Mb? I've looked around and heard different reports on whether it's worth the extra money or not.

Am I correct in thinking that it is a slight improvement but not really noticeable unless you are moving large files around?
